Taste profile

Legend has it

After the First World War the Moortgat family named their strong blond Victory Ale. But as the story goes, a shoemaker called Van de Wouwer tasted it in 1923 and cried out 'Dit is een echte duivel!', this is a real devil. The name stuck, which was no obvious choice in Catholic Flanders.

The 6.66% is a nod to that story: the number, of course, is the devil's.

Beer stories travel from brewery to bar to guest, and rarely shrink on the way.

Interesting facts

Anniversary beer
Duvel 6.66% arrived in 2021, when the brewery turned 150. Jan-Leonard Moortgat founded it in 1871.
Six hops
Saaz and Styrian Goldings, as in the original, joined by four more varieties. Orange zest adds a fruity note.
Big brother
The original Duvel is 8.5%. The 6.66% is the lighter take on the same beer.
Scottish yeast
Duvel's yeast still comes from the Scottish culture Albert Moortgat bought on a trip to the UK just after the First World War.
Especially good with

Mussels in white wine, shrimp salad.

Frequently asked questions

(More frequently asked questions)

Can I taste several beers at once?

Yes, with the beer box you pick six beers from our 24 taps, served in smaller tasting glasses. The staff are happy to help you put your flight together.

Do you serve every beer in its proper glass?

Yes, just like in Belgium. Each brewery designs glassware to lift precisely their beer, and almost every beer here is served in its proper glass.

Does the beer selection change, or is it always the same?

Both: taps 1-16 are our permanent draughts, always on, while taps 17-24 are rotating guest taps, each beer stays on until the keg runs dry, then a new one takes its place. New bottles also arrive in the bottle cellar all the time. See what's pouring right now →
